PITTSBURGH - Online registration for the 2018 DICK’S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon weekend of events will open on Tuesday, August 1 at 9:00 a.m. EST. This year the race will celebrate its 10th anniversary with an opening week registration event Aug. 1-4 that includes the lowest prices of the season, special deals and sponsor giveaways. More than 40,000 runners of all ages are expected to register for the event weekend, scheduled for May 4-6, 2018.

“This year we will celebrate 10 years of a community event that is not only about runners’ personal bests but also about the city’s personal best,” said Patrice Matamoros, P3R CEO. “Each year the DICK’S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon showcases the Pittsburgh pride of 14 Pittsburgh neighborhoods. This race has grown into so much more than a race but an event that inspires and changes lives.”

Registration will open at the guaranteed lowest price of $65 for the DICK’S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon and UPMC Health Plan Pittsburgh Half Marathon, the same price that the first marathon opened at in 2009. The price will increase throughout the opening day as more people sign up for the event.
